Traditional Thai Massage is a unique form
of body therapy dating back thousands of years that incorporates
yoga, acupressure and reflexology along with its own techniques
of gentle rocking, deep stretching and compression. The movements
assist the restructuring of your musculo-skeletal framework
with great benefits for athletes, dancers and other people
who want their body to achieve maximum performance.

Channels of energy, known as Sen lines
are worked throughout the massage in order to balance
the flow of energy in the body.
Nuad Bo-Rarn Thai Massage is performed
on a mat on the floor rather than a raised table. This
allows for many movements and procedures that are not
practical or effective on a table. It allows for the
most effective use of the practitioners body weight
rather than muscular force for the transmission of pressure,
force, or energy, which creates a highly therapeutic
effect. |
